Where “results” sits in English frequency
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 11 spelling variants around results (IPA /ɹɪˈzʌlts/), anoun. Corpus frequency is #595 among 21,470 “R” headwords. Dominant gloss: "plural of result".
Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for results, with forms such as "ersults", "resluts", and "ressults". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. It also participates in 3 confusable-pair relationships, "rests", "result", "resulted", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct English form is results, spelled R-E-S-U-L-T-S.
